The girls say they are (Juxyi kir with outside activities and km no Imm /or home duties. I l?y KATHLEEN NORRIS ** T KNOW you hate divorce and never advise it," writes Norma Brown, "but I want to know what you advise in my case. / "Two years ago, after an ideally happy marriage, I was left widowed with a boy of 5. I was crushed, bewildered, young, and within three months I suddenly married an old friend, a chiropractor, a man I had always regarded as an advisor, an older brother. My mother was furious, and would not forgive me for months. Fred is 49; he had been recently divorced; he has two daughters, who were then 13 and 15. Their mother takes them off for every other Saturday, coming back to dine with us ton Sunday night. I now have a small girl baby, EUen. "We have a large house; Fred's offices are in it, also a room for the nurse. This nurse, who is friendly enough to me, expected to marry my husband, when he and I eloped. I never knew this until lately. They had been engaged for a long while, and although she laughed about it when she told me, the fact that she did not leave him indicates to me that she likes him still. "I have no servant; it is impossible to get anyone to come here for what Fred will pay. The girls do nothing, not even make their own beds; they come and rifle the ice hoc of my custards or sandwiches; everything they do is right in their father's eyes. .Sometimes MiHy, the nurse, helps me clear the tabR) ; nobody else helps with housework, cooking, marketing, and the baby's "needs and laundry. I am exhausted with fatigue most of the time; I sever catch ig>. Both girls are in brifefei and they claim that with first-aid classes after hours and gym and Junior Red.. Cross they are always busy, aorV h»ve- no time for home duties. There Is No Harmony. MThis would perhaps not be so serious if they were my own children, but there is no harmony between them and my own son, Phil. They tease and annoy him all the time, and my husband blames him. He would like to send Phil to his sister, who has children about his age, but I will not consent. Fred is passionately devoted to his daughters, and over and over again he will plan for them some outing that doesn't include me. He takes them to movies, buys them whatever they want and this summer, during the very hottest weather went away with them for two weeks, leaving me at home with the small children. "This treatment has opened my eyes to the fact that I don't love hhn; I don't even like him, and I never will again. What he needed was a working housekeeper, and in these times he would have to pay her a good fat salary. "I slave and struggle all day and far into the night, and my reward is that Sally won't eat this and Eunice won't eat that; little Phil is sent away from the table to wash his hands or comb .his hair, and Fred comments, kindly enough on my own appearance. 'Is this the pretty girl I married?' He also questions an bills, and has asked me twice if I ever got money from the stores and had it charged on the bill. My heart is broken, but that doesn't mean I have to break my back, tOOi • AN EXCEPTION In her advice to Norma Brown, Kathleen IVorris makes an exception to her rule against divorce. Usually, she feels, divorce is just a lazy and immature way of set• tlin'g grievances that are far less important than the integrity of the home and the unity of the family group. Read Norma Brown's letter carefully before you say to yourself that your problem, too, can only be solved by divorce. And remember that you may lose more than you gain by divorce. It is still a last re• sort, and things must be very bad indeed before it is worth the sacrifice it inevitably means. "My mother is well-fixed; she. has always despised Fred; she would gladly take me and my two children in and I could be of real help to her, for she takes summer boarders and has a few boarders all the year. But she keeps a fine colored cook and her daughter and what I would do would be only light work. " am thirsting for escape and for freedom. Fred, I suppose, would immediately marry his nurse. What She Would Do. "She practically told me the other day that in my place she would pack the girls off to school and get in a good servai^, so it may not be all roses for him, but that isn't my affair. My husband has never shown any affection for Ellen, my baby, and my old doctor told me as a joke that her father's welcome of a third daughter was a hearty curse. "Well, I have written you my problem. Am I justified in getting a divorce, in your opinion?" It was a foolish union from the first, for anyone with eyes in her head could see that such a household was no place for a young wife and a small boy. Yes, I think you would be justified in legally ending a union that never was real marriage, and in living hereafter for your mother and your children. It is a strange thing that a man like Fred can present the prospect to various women so charmingly that they are willing to sacrifice common sense and reason to leap into matrimony with him; certainly his office nurse has had every chance to study the situation. That you were young, plunged in grief, and that you had always looked upon Fred as a sort of big brother and guide, is your excuse; I hope you'll be a little more careful about a third experiment. At 27 you still have plenty of time to consider the serious thing that mar riage is. Fred could dispute your divorce, for in your state nothing that he has done is actionable. But if he is thinking of marrying his nurse he may not interfere with your going to Reno to establish a six-weeks' resi dence. Unjust Treatment. One would like to be able to get into the mind of a man like that, to find out just what he thinks he is, an East Indian Sultan or Superman or what? Not only to impose upon you himself, but to allow two untrained selfish girls to walk roughshod over you; to restrict your purse, criticize your appearance, poison your first joy in your baby by a curse at her sex, and abandon you whenever he wants to go on a pleasure trip, is to treat you as thoagh you were merely a mechanical device in his household and not a woman at all.

TootHaH Sapper Thoughts for fall naturally bring to mind fall's favorite game, football, and foods that go well after t h e g a m e . I t makes no difference whether you have been to one of the big games or whether you are going to feed the hungry crowd of youngsters who come in from playing in the nearest available field, the uppermost thought in your mind is good, hot, appetizing food. Smart management dictates a delicious hot dish that you whisk out of the oven, a crisp salad for balance and contrast to the meal, and a smooth, light dessert. Your crowd will be thirsty, too, so don't forget coffee for the grown-ups and a hot, chocolaty drink for the children. Do something special for the table --even a little touching-up will bring the appreciative oh's and ah's from your family and guests. Perhaps there are a few chrysanthemums still in the garden or you might try to get together a few, small novelty footballs to make up into a centerpiece. A cloth in the burnished fall colors or deep brown, bright yellow, or what-have-you will mark you as a hostess whose eye is ever on the calendar and season. Bring on the food! And such food it will be if you serve spaghetti, done up in casserole with plenty of sauce and cheese for extra goodness:. V.^flBpaghetti Creole. (Serves Si 2 pounds long spaghetti 2 onions, chopped 1 clove garlie V* cup batter - H cup oil 2 cans tomato puree IVi caps tomatoes 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Mace Salt, pepper 1 pound ground beef ' Grated cheese Cook onion and garlic (peeled and a toothpick run through it) in the hot oil and butter, slowly. Remove garlic. Add tomato puree, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, suit and pepper. Cook meat in additional fat. Add to first mixture and cook very slowly for two hours. Cook spaghetti in boiling, salted water. Drain and rinse in hot water. Place in buttered casserole, first spaghetti layer, then sauce, grated cheese, and so on until casserole is fulL Garnish with an additional slice of bacon if desired. Bake in a daw (325-degree) oven 45 minutes. Contrast note to the Spaghetti Creole is a green vegetable chilled to a crispness.

Fewer meat cuts will be available, so be prepared to learn how to do many different things with what you have. Eggs, cheqse and fish are obtainable at moderate prices and are wonderful props in plaae at meat, and are all rich, sources of protein which is one of the main values of meat.

While no official ruling was made outlawing advertising in which a company boasts about its contribution to the war effort, a word of warning was sounded. The government proposes to talk with advertising agencies and both local and national advertisers to point out to them that the public is nauseated with this "bragging," and to suggest that the advertising space so misused could be devoted to more constructive purposes. ' Much of this corporation 'tiomijfooting" has been engendered by false, malicious attacks made upon company officials. It is only human that these officials have sought to clear their reputations with the public by "blowing" about their contributions to tive war effort. The American people, however, expect corporations to make all-out contributionss to the war effort and can see no reasnn why a company that simply is doing its patriotic duty finds it necessary to spend corporate funds to inform the public about it. In other words it just ain't news. If this practice is voluntarily stopped, advertising^ defenders will be enveloped in a complete blackout.
